Hey, I got a very old PC which was purchased 6 years ago. I use Debian netinstall CD installed the base Debian etch system. I have been trying to install basic GUI on it. Therefore I execute the following command:[QUOTE]#aptitude update aptitude install twm x-window-system[/QUOTE]
I was asked for some questions regarding to my hardware. I was not quite sure whether my answer is right because I'm quite new to computer hardware and I have no means to find the manuals for the old PC. After that the startx gave me the following errors [QUOTE]X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: UNKNOWN Current Operating System: Linux ronie 2.4.27-3-386 #1 Mon May 29 23:50:41 UTC 2006 i686 Build Date: 04 April 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

[/QUOTE] I was trying dpkg-reconfigure xfree86 but it seems this does not bring me the interfaces where I can reconfigure my x-window-system. Can any of you give me some hint on how can I get over these problems please? Thanks a lot in advance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
